Andre (West) said...."...when I thought, "Say, Jon Durant said his new disc was reviewed in the SRV issue of _Guitar_ magazine." Sure enough, there it was. A very positive review, as well -- congratulations, Jon! And it's good to see that the Alchemy roster is being picked up for in-store distribution.. yes, Jon, congrats !! lets spread the word... AND - also a hearty congrats to Andre' LaFosse- he is listed as being in the very prestigious fourth & final round of the musician best unsigned band competition-- yeah !!! win this one, me namesake looping brother !!! let's shake up the oligarchy with some REALLY new music..! Congrats & good luck, buena suerte! I also think this prodigy-driven music "re-revolution" is great 'cos it'll get some new ears attuned to electronic, loopy otherworldly type sounds. THis "guitar is dead" nonsense is laughable, though ! another great, recently overlooked CD was Todd Rundgren's (TR-I) "No World Order" - it's a great, sorta dance -oriented, beat-heavy "electronica?" affair with tons of great guitar solos and biting social/personal/political commentary. Sure, at times the occassional rap-vocals don't quite work, but it's interesting to hear this hybrid of stuff in 1990, by a pretty well known artist, yet this release was panned and ignored by the same critics who'll now get out the kneepads for the prodigy-orb chemical tricky brothers. keep looping and writing, all! andre east coast ps - nj area loopers pls e-mail me directly - live looping/samples/percussion next week at the brighton bar in longbranch/nj 9:45 pm "Jfk's Lsd-Ufo" is my duo. e-mail me !! >
